Christmas Around the World


During the month of December, students across Cabell County's Title I schools participated in a collaborative videoconferencing project titled, Christmas Around the World. Fifth graders at Spring Hill Elementary had been studying the European countries of Italy, Greece, and France earlier in October. To enrich this study, teachers redesigned the techSteps lesson, Talk to a Topic. After researching the holiday customs of these unique cultures, students used the Keynote Application on the iPad to create presentation slides. During the videoconference, students shared their slides with the partner class and reported on their findings in a one-minute speech. Check out some of their work in the slideshow above!
